Edward Bugg the frontrunner in Aurora Ward 9 primary
A small number of voters who turned out Tuesday in Aurora combined to make Edward Bugg the front-runner in the Ward 9 aldermanic primary, but the second- and third-place candidates finished only three votes apart in unofficial election results.
Bugg tallied 131 of 290 votes cast in DuPage, Kendall and Will counties, while Marge Linnane got 67 and Matt Harrington had 64, according to unofficial vote counts.
The top two vote-getters, once final results are determined, will see their names on the ballot for the April 9 general election to represent the ward on Aurora's far southeast side.
Bugg, a 46-year-old operating manager of a real estate firm, said Tuesday night he was encouraged by the results and excited to continue his campaign.
"I'm very happy about the results so far. I felt like we ran a campaign on the issues and we're going to continue to do that," Bugg said. "We're going to focus on economic development, building our community, communication, letting people know what's going on and really listening to them."
Bugg finished first among a field of five candidates that also included former Alderman-at-Large Bob Shelton, who got 17 votes Tuesday, and Michael Ochs, who received 9 votes, according to unofficial totals.
Ochs said Monday he was stepping out of the race in support of Harrington, but his name remained on the ballot.
Harrington, 50, is director of community and corporate development for the Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Aurora. He said he's an independent thinker who will keep open lines of communication with residents and never forget he works for them.
Linnane, 60, said she is soon to retire from her job as assistant planning and zoning administrator for the village of Glendale Heights and would have plenty of time to continue in public service by advocating for Ward 9 residents.
Ward 9 was one of two Aurora city council voting districts to hold a primary Tuesday. Voters in Ward 4 in Aurora, which lies mainly West of the Fox River but also includes a sizable section east of the river and south of downtown, chose William Donnell and Mavis Bates to advance to the April 9 general election.
Donnell got 221 votes in unofficial results, while Bates had 183 out of 822 votes cast. The seven-way race also included James "Jay" Leonardi, who finished with 168 votes; Charles "Chuck" Norris, who got 118; Mike "Leo" Leonardi, who received 62 votes; Duanne Kleckner, who tallied 46; and Kevin Mathews, who got the fewest votes with 18.

Poll: iPhone 3G - black or white?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Design, Features, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video,
So, now that we've cleared up the iPhone 3G price confusion (we think), we are curious what you guys will be picking up once the device is unleashed. Apple has moved away from the aluminum-looking backing, instead opting for a glossy black finish on the 8GB iPhone 3G. However, if you opt for the 16GB model, you get a choice between glossy black and glossy white. What say you?

Beaumont/Port Arthur
In an unprecedented move, the City of Beaumont has filed suit against a local man accused of endangering public health and repeatedly violating city ordinances, allegedly failing to rid his property of litter and providing shelter and a breeding ground for rodents and mosquitoes.
At least one woman was sent to the hospital after a morning wreck at the intersection of Gladys and West Lucas streets in Beaumont's West End.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Miami Walking Tours: Art Deco District
Miami Beach's Art Deco District is the first 20th-century neighborhood to be recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, with 800 structures of historical significance, most built between 1923 and 1943. The fanciful pastel buildings, with porthole windows, ship-like railings, sleek curves, glass blocks, shiny chrome, and gleaming terrazzo floors are prime eye candy.
Start your stroll where 5th Street dead-ends into the beach at Ocean Drive, heading north. As you walk along Ocean Drive, you'll notice the porthole windows, curved metal rails and flags copied from the big ocean liners that docked at the Port of Miami in the 1930s. You'll want to shoot postcard pictures of each hotel, but keep an eye out in particular for Park Central Hotel(between 6th and 7th streets). Built in 1937 and renovated in 1987, it was the first hotel to be returned to its original splendor. The hotel was a hangout for Hollywood stars, such as Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, and Rita Hayworth. Also in the 700 block of Ocean Drive: the wedding cake-like 1936 Beacon Hotel and the 1935 Colony Hotel, with its prominent sign and neon accents.
Cross the street to linger at Lummus Park Historic District at Ocean Drive and 7th Street, where you can take a few steps east, over a dune, and be on the beach. Look back to the west for a great view of the Art Deco skyline, particularly stunning at night, when the hotels turn on their neon signs. There are usually musicians singing and playing bongos or guitars in the park.
Back on Ocean Drive, keep moving north past the Waldorf Towers, 860 Ocean Dr., with its round glass tower that looks like a lighthouse. When you get to 10th Street, you'll find the Art Deco Welcome Center. It's home to the Miami Design Preservation League (www.mdpl.org), which formed in 1976 to save the historical hotels from being razed by developers and restore them to their glory days. You'll find books, brochures, and guided tours here. Self-guided tours are available Wednesday through Sunday.
Take note of the hotels around the center, including the Clevelander South Beach Hotel and Bar, a 1938, five-story hotel known for its outdoor, poolside bar.
Continue another block north to 1116 Ocean Dr., the area's most infamous residence. The large white, 1930 Spanish-style mansion is Casa Casaurina, once the home of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace, who was shot to death in 1997 on the steps. His killer, Andrew Cunanan, committed suicide days later on a houseboat in Miami Beach. The home has been turned into a private, members-only party mansion.
Keep walking north to The Tides hotel, between 12th and 13th Streets, a severe art deco monolith designed in 1936 by L. Murray Dixon, with porthole windows at the entrance to the 12-story tower. Check out the art deco curves on the stylish Carlyle Hotel at 1250 Ocean Dr.
Look for the brain coral imbedded in the railing and columns at the Cardozo Hotel, a 1939 gem at Ocean and 13th owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Also on this block is the lemon-colored Leslie Hotel, originally built in 1937, with eyebrows that wrap around the building.
If you started early, consider stopping for breakfast at the Front Porch Café and Restaurant, on the porch of the Penguin Hotel, 1418 Ocean Dr. Most of the restaurants along Ocean Drive are tourist traps, but this place still draws locals for cheap, delicious breakfasts (French toast and bananas, omelets, pancakes, granola).
When Ocean Drive stops at 15th Street, turn left. Then take the next right on Collins Avenue. Peek into the restored two-story lobby of the National Hotel at 1677 Collins Ave., where reproductions of the original furniture and light sconces can be found. Check out the 205-foot-long (62-meter-long) pool in the back. (It's not from the Deco period, but it's an impressive reflection of the towering, streamlined 1940 Deco building.) The National is part of a lineup of tall, graceful hotels, including the Delano (the tallest building in Miami Beach when it was built in 1947) and the Sagamore, known for the impressive contemporary art collection inside its flat, white Modernist façade.
One more block to the north, stop at the Raleigh Hotel, 1775 Collins Ave. Consider a dip or martini at its famous oceanside Deco pool. The sculpted outline and waterfall was a backdrop for movie star-swimmer Esther Williams' flicks in the 1940s and '50s. Decades later, MTV filmed The Grind dance show here. The turquoise stunner, which lately has thrown in inner tubes to up the lounging possibilities, has a wood-burning pizza oven next to the deep end and a full-service poolside bar.
Double back and head west down 17th Street. Cross Washington Avenue and find yourself at the beginning of Lincoln Road, a pedestrian-only, outdoor mall, where you can end your walk browsing through the boutiques and shops. Linger over lunch at tiny Icebox Café, at Lincoln Road and Michigan Avenue, for quirky comfort food served on old-fashioned plates and memorable desserts.

Daniel Radcliffe has dismissed accusations the gay sex scenes in new movie Kill Your Darlings are shocking, and branded the controversy around the film "strange".
The Harry Potter star portrays late gay beat poet Allen Ginsberg in 1944, and engages in several homosexual love scenes.
The British actor has long been a vocal supporter of gay rights and has worked closely with the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on crisis support and suicide prevention for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths - and he's baffled by the furor surrounding the movie.
He tells MTV News, "It's interesting that it's deemed shocking. For me, there's something very strange about that because we see straight sex scenes all the time. We've seen gay sex scenes before. I don't know why a gay sex scene should be any more shocking than a straight sex scene. Or both of them are equally un-shocking."

I think very highly of this website. I really liked the "room-mail" service. As a woman it made me feel more secure than giving out my email address to whoever wanted it. I had been searching for over a month before I signed up, and after I did I found my roommate in 2 days. Thank you so much. I will be referring my friends in the future. - Alice
I was amazed, and relieved to find this site to be so succesful. I was really in a jam when my previous arrangement fell through.

Frye returns to St. Marys
ST. MARYS — Doug Frye will try to rebuild the St. Marys football program that he carefully tended for 11 seasons, the one he watched fall into disrepair in the five seasons since he left.
Frye was officially named head coach of the Roughriders at a St. Marys Board of Education meeting Wednesday night.
The board approved by a 4-1 vote the hiring of Frye as the virtual learning academy administrator. Frye received a three-year teaching contract through the 2016-2017 school year. Bob Valentine was the dissenting vote. Frye said he's made a commitment to coach for three years through the 2016 season and will evaluate coaching longer than that when that contract comes up.

Agnès Varda, (born May 30, 1928, Brussels), French still photographer and one of the few successful female motion-picture directors. Her first film, Le Pointe courte (1954), was a precursor of the French New Wave films of the 1960s.
Varda became a student at the Sorbonne and the École du Louvre and became a still photographer. As the official photographer of the Théatre National Populaire from 1951 to 1961, she discovered an interest in both theatre and film. Varda's first film, Le Pointe courte, proved her to be an original artist. Varda's second feature, Cleo de cinq à sept (1961; Cleo from 5 to 7), an introspective and intellectual film, displays the influence of the New Wave. It is an intimate account of a pop singer who sees the world around her with a new vision while she waits for the results of a medical examination that will tell her if she is suffering from a terminal illness.
In 1964, Varda directed Le Bonheur (Happiness), an abstract picture of happiness that was to be her most controversial film. Les Creatures was released in 1966, and her most popular films of the next two decades were L'Une chante l'autre pas (1976; One Sings, the Other Doesn't) and Sans toit ni loi (1985; Without Roof or Law, or Vagabond).
In the 1990s and into the beginning of the 21st century, Varda continued directing. Her most highly acclaimed films from this period were Les Cent et une nuits de Simon Cinéma (1995; A Hundred and One Nights of Simon Cinema), about an old man with a love for movies, and Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse (2000; The Gleaners and I), an intimate look at French country life.

Natural History Bird Print - Lithograph
circa 1879
Thursday I took a vacation day and headed to the Maryland State Archives. Really wish I could be there every single day. So looking forward to retirement!
The main focus this trip was the Gaphardt family. Putting pieces of the puzzle together for these ancestors has been a bit tricky. The surname has been spelled with so many variations.
Bernard John Gaphardt, grand uncle
born - July 6, 1920 in Baltimore, Maryland
died - November 15, 1966 in Baltimore, Maryland
While searching death certificates this one caught my attention. Here we see Bernard's "usual occupation" as "lithographer". I was not clear about this occupation. Made a quick notation for further research and moved along.
This morning, the hunt begins!
Here are resources discovered and possible connection to Bernard.
Wikipedia describes lithography - "invented by Alois Senefelder in Bohemia in 1796. In the early days of lithography, a smooth piece of limestone was used (hence the name "lithography": "lithos" (λιθος) is the ancient Greek word for stone). After the oil-based image was put on the surface, a solution of gum arabic in water was applied, the gum sticking only to the non-oily surface. During printing, water adhered to the gum arabic surfaces and avoided the oily parts, while the oily ink used for printing did the opposite."
Lithography from the University of Delaware Library
Lithography by Joseph Pennell - copyright, September, 1912
The Project Gutenberg EBook of Practical Lithography, by Alfred Seymour
Another clue under "kind of business or industry" we see "Crown Cork & Seal Co". I really do not know much about this history. Luckily, there is plenty of information on the Internet.
Here is what I discovered and how it may complete the story.
"Crown Cork and Seal Collection" from Maryland Historical Society, tells us that by 1930 half of the world's supply of bottle caps were produced at the plant. Also, we learn about the photolithographic process of printing bottle caps.
Brewing in Baltimore by Maureen O'Prey, published by Arcadia Publishing, 2011, has pictures and detailed history. One photograph in particular looks familiar! I have seen quite a few crown cork bottle closures in my day.
Is this where Bernard's skill came into play? Did Bernard imprint the bottle tops?
It was fun and educational to dig deeper into Bernard's life. Sheds light on details I am miss by just inputting vital records data.
To that end, I have decided to continue with this theme. Each week there will be a post "our ancestor was ..."
Another genealogy adventure!

Community salutes Old Glory
Local law enforcement agents, dignitaries and citizens gathered Tuesday night at the Ridgway Elks Lodge No. 872 B.P.O.E. for a 45-minute Flag Day ceremony featuring several speakers, including Paul "Ted" Bullers, Mamie Mader and the Honorable Richard Masson, President Judge of Elk County."The purpose of the service is to honor our country's flag and to celebrate the anniversary of its birth," Bullers said. "It is quite appropriate that this service should be held by the Order of Elks, an organization that is distinctly American and intensely patriotic."The history of the flag was discussed and members of the local Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops displayed several flags through the ceremony."Our flag is a declaration representing the American nation as it was at its birth-- it speaks for what it is today, and it holds the opportunities for the future to allow other stars to the glorious constellation," Bullers said. "The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the first and only fraternal body to require formal observation of Flag Day. "The Order is distinctly American-- only an American citizen is eligible to join and it has no foreign affiliation. It is linked to destiny, the destiny of our country and makes this flag a symbol of self-dedication to God, country and fellow men."Pick up a copy of the Wednesday, June 15, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Monsters Inc
Welcome to the wonderful and wacky world of those not-so-scary monsters that live in children's closets. Follow one monster's adventures as it discovers that scary isn't always the way to go.
Leave it to Pixar to come up with another clever story. We are introduced to a thriving monster metropolis, where Monsters, Inc. employs an elite group of big, bad guys to go into children's closets and gather the city's energy supply--the children's screams. But lately, there has been an energy crunch; it seems kids are not getting as scared as they used to. Enter top Kid Scarer, Mr. James P. Sullivan, a.k.a. Sully (voiced by John Goodman), a big, blue fuzzy monster who, along with his assistant Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal), a green, one-eyed wisecracker, gets potent screams from the kiddies. Unfortunately, the one thing Sully, Mike and the others are deathly afraid of is the children themselves. And when one child, Boo (voiced by Mary Gibbs), makes her way through the closet door into the monster world, things get decidedly complicated for Sully, who learns kids aren't so scary after all.
Honestly, how could you go wrong with the vocal talents of John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi and James Coburn? In Monsters, Inc., they absolutely shine. Oscar-winning Coburn brings the head of Monsters, Inc., Mr. Henry J. Waternoose, a crablike, spidery monster, vividly to life. Buscemi as the evil Randall Boggs, a slimy serpent monster who can camouflage himself to blend with anything, plays the perfect foil to Sully, a monster with grand plans who rivals the big guy in the quota for kids' screams. Crystal is hysterical as Mike, with enough neuroses and wild antics to offset the sweet Sully--without stealing the show. Even the lityle girl Boo comes across convincingly as a two-and-a-half-year-old, specially when she sings in the bathroom. It's Goodman who makes the movie complete--his Sully is one big galoot you can wrap your arms around.
Pixar Animation must constantly search high and low for the cream of the crop in animation and story development; they never settle for second best. The studio has the Midas touch when it comes to computer-animated films--its three features so far, Toy Story, Toy Story 2 (still one of the best sequels ever made) and A Bug's Life, have grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide. Yes, Dreamworks may have given Disney a run for its money with its spectacular summer blockbuster Shrek, but Pixar isn't going to roll over that easily. Monsters, Inc. is a wonderfully inventive film, especially in its creation of such otherworldly settings as the factory and its assembly line of closet doors. The movie combines all the right elements--there's a good guy, a funny sidekick, slimebag, a climactic chase scene and an adorable reason for things to end happily.
Bottom Line
Disney's Pixar has done it again with the delightful Monsters, Inc.--so sit back, bring the whole family and have a wonderful time.

The saga of the Hinduja Group started in Sind, the cradle of the Indus Valley Civilisation, where more than 5,000 years ago, the human race learnt its first lessons in organised business and banking.
Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja, a young entrepreneur from the fabled town of Shikarpur, realised early in life that business was all about spotting opportunities, and seizing them wherever they surfaced.
He travelled to Mumbai in 1914, and quickly learnt the ropes of business. The business journey, which began in Sind, entered the international arena with an office in Iran (the first outside India) in 1919.
Merchant Banking and Trade were the twin pillars of the business and the Group remained headquartered in Iran, until 1979 when it moved to Europe.
The Group has expanded and diversified its businesses, with significant social and charitable contributions, under the present leadership of Chairman, Srichand, ably supported by his brothers, Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok.
Today, the Hinduja Group has become one of the largest diversified groups in the world spanning all the continents. The Group employs over 125,000+ people and has offices in many key cities of the world and all the major cities in India.
The Hinduja Family has always adapted to free-market reforms moving quickly in new markets that have opened, and capitalising on new economy opportunities. As a result, the Hinduja Group has now strategically positioned itself to contribute to old economy sectors such as Banking & Finance, Transport, Energy (Oil & Power) as well as the new economy of Technology, Media and Telecom.
The Business Philosophy
"My dharma (duty) is to work, so that I can give."
Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja (1901-1971)
Founder, Hinduja Group
Every member of the Group is encouraged to practice the Vedic principles of work: 'Service with devotion' and 'willingness to see fulfilment of one's self-interest in the active promotion of the interest of the collective'.
Mutual trust, respect, cohesion and co-operation are emphasised as key organisational guidelines. At the same time, sound modern management practices are given primacy within individual companies of the Group and also at the corporate level.
Professionals are allocated independent charge of diversified activities. There is a high premium on healthy internal competition, incentives to executives and employees for outperforming one another, and appreciation of good performance.
The Group has, throughout its history, demonstrated a strong commitment to creating better understanding between the people and the governments of the world. Building amity and co-operation between their host country and their mother country, India, has been an article of faith.

Let's talk about what? Telling your kids about "the birds and the bees"
Don't swat away the birds and the bees. Start the conversation early with your kids.
The only test I ever flunked was in my freshman year of Catholic high school, when after being out sick a few days, I returned to biology to be handed—to my horror—a test asking us to label the parts of the male reproductive system.
Years would pass before such parts were mentioned openly on TV. Some classmates in my all-girls school had enough firsthand experience, from diapering baby brothers or other extracurricular activities, to know the terms without a textbook. At my home a force field of silence surrounded anything having to do with s-e-x. So along with the dreaded failing grade churned the suspicion that I knew less about this subject than anyone in my class.
My husband recalls an agonizing adolescent appointment with his father, watching his dad struggle for words about the facts of life, thinking, "I've never seen him this nervous in my life."
We are determined not to repeat these experiences for our own kids. We read some good advice: Pay attention to what kids are asking and what they're not asking. Give age-appropriate, matter-of-fact answers to questions.
We also want to present the good news about sexuality—how God made men and women beautiful to one another, and because of that babies are born and human life goes on. Parents need to spell out this dimension because you often find yourself answering questions when a child happens to hear the news about, say, a sexual crime and asks you to define rape, child sexual abuse, or abortion. A straight answer still works best (though we did punt on the abortion question for a while).
With older kids we can focus on the respect we owe to others and what that means in the context of sexuality: That sexual activity expresses commitment in marriage rather than being a recreational activity for anyone past puberty, as pop culture indicates. That males and females ought never be sexual objects, despite their portrayal as such in the tide of soft-core porn that washes over even our grade-schoolers today.
One day we passed a poster of a barely clad woman in an ad. "Why does she have almost no clothes on?" asked my son. "People making ads sometimes use women's and men's bodies to get people's attention," I replied, "so they'll want to buy the stuff being advertised. They're taking advantage of the fact that God makes us beautiful to one another, only they're using it to make money."
"So why would she do something like that?" he asked. Good question, kid.
A friend taught theology to Catholic high school boys. They admitted that when they had questions about sex, they asked each other—pooling their near-complete ignorance. He asked, "Do you know anyone who's actually had sex?" They laughed, at last saying no. My friend said, "But what about—your parents?" They hooted: "Gross!"
But who can give your child a stronger foundation as a sexual being: you, or the middle school crowd passing around the cell phone with the latest compromising photo? Our kids would be right to claim that we owe it to them.

Children's Hospital Answer Line Nurse Named President of National Nursing Organization
St. Louis, MO – May 29, 2012 -- The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) named Suzanne N. Wells, MSN, RN, its 2012-2013 president during a recent conference in Florida. Wells manages the St. Louis Children's Hospital Answer Line and has served a leadership position at the hospital for twelve years.
Among her priorities as AAACN president, Wells plans to help members navigate health care reform, and address the implications of a recent report by the Institute of Medicine on ambulatory care nursing.
The 454.KIDS Answer Line is a free community service offered by St. Louis Children's Hospital. In existence for more than 20 years, this line is dedicated to giving health advice and information pertaining to children from newborn to twenty-one years of age. The 454.KIDS line is staffed by pediatric nurses from St. Louis Children's Hospital.
The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) is the association of professional nurses and associates who identify ambulatory care practice as essential to the continuum of high quality, cost-effective health care. AAACN (formerly the American Academy of Ambulatory Nursing Administration) was founded in 1978 as a not for profit, educational forum. In 1993, the organization's name was changed to the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN). Membership was broadened to include nurses in direct practice, education, and research roles as well as those in management and administration. Today, membership is open to nurses and other professionals interested in ambulatory care and telehealth nursing. Corporations and individual corporate representatives are also welcomed as members. AAACN is the only specialty nursing association that focuses on excellence in ambulatory care.
St. Louis Children's Hospital has provided specialized care for children for more than 130 years. Both US News & World Report and Parents magazine rank St. Louis Children's among the Top 10 pediatric hospitals in the nation. In 2010 the hospital received the Magnet re-designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the nation's highest honor for nursing excellence. St. Louis Children's Hospital is affiliated with Washington University School of Medicine, one of the leading medical research, teaching and patient care institutions in the nation. The hospital is a member of BJC HealthCare. For more information, visit www.StLouisChildrens.org, or visit us @STLChildrens on Facebook and Twitter.
The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) is an association of registered nurses and other health care professionals who identify ambulatory care practice as essential to the continuum of high quality, cost-effective health care. As the premier nursing organization for this specialty, AAACN is devoted to advancing the art and science of ambulatory care nursing.

BEDFORD, N.Y. – Many homeowners may think that foreclosure is the only way out if they can't pay their mortgages, but Mark Boyland of Keller Williams Realty in Bedford has launched a new website to help homeowners understand an increasingly popular alternative: the short sale process.
"Being under water" is a phrase used in real estate when the current market value of a home is below what the homeowner owes on the mortgage.
Boyland , who has served the Westchester County real estate market since 1995, created DontForecloseSellInstead.com in response to numerous inquires from clients about the short sale process.
"We've done short sales in Bedford and Mount Kisco and Pound Ridge and Lewisboro," he said. "We get calls every week."
From homeowners with high home values of $1.2 million to $1.4 million to those in the $400,00 to $600,000 bracket to down around $200,000, trouble paying the mortgage is one problem that does not discriminate.
Boyland advises people not to push off looking into short sales because of the government settlement with the five major lenders in February for $25 billion. Because of that settlement, Boyland said, lenders are approving short sales at a faster rate with better terms. Once the settlement money runs out, he said, "the lenders might not be as generous as they are now."
According to some sources, Boyland said, foreclosures in New York are backlogged 10 years because they have to go through the court system, whereas short sales do not.
Short sales are a huge benefit to the banks "because they can close out the account and get some of their money back now and stop the bleeding," he said. Banks are also becoming more efficient at processing these types of transactions.
But if the homeowner waits until there is no other choice but to foreclose, the foreclosure process is one that can take months or even years to finalize. Then the house must be put back on the market, incurring the expense of hiring another Realtor.
According to Boyland, short sales are an option some homeowners are only just beginning to see as a win-win: Not only does the homeowner gets a fresh start, but the bank loses less money and the buyer saves. With short sale, homeowners can negotiate down or completely eliminate amounts owed.
Short sales also have less of a negative effect on one's ability to obtain a mortgage in the future, and result in a less significant impact on credit score than foreclosure.
Boyland's new website addresses aspects of the foreclosure debate in one place. For more information, visit Boyland's Realtor website or call Keller Williams' Bedford office at 914-234-4444.

Celebrating AI's Fiftieth Anniversary and Continuing Innovation at the AAAI/IAAI-06 Conferences
The seeds of AI were sewn at the Dartmouth Conference in the summer of 1956. John McCarthy, then an assistant mathematics professor at Dartmouth, organized the conference and coined the name "artificial intelligence" in his conference proposal. This summer AAAI celebrates the first 50 years of AI; and continues to foster the fertile fields of AI at the National AI conference (AAAI-06) and Innovative Applications of AI conference (IAAI-06) in Boston.

1. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxDiego_Intel May 3, 2012 10:07 AM (in response to Corentin)
Most versions of the Linux* operating system include Intel® graphics drivers. Intel recommends checking with your Linux distribution vendor or computer manufacturer for updated drivers.
I suggest you to check the information available on the following article:
2. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and Linuxdiebels May 10, 2012 10:22 AM (in response to Diego_Intel)
Hello Diego at Intel,
I suggest you do some actual research before pointing to a webpage that lists other graphics chips than the one in question.
GMA3600 and GMA3650 on atom n2600 and n2800 does not currently have proper support in any linux distribution. Except some experimental closed source drivers in meego linux.
You should put up a BIG WARNING to people planning to use these graphincs chips in linux! Most intel graphics have excellent linux support, but the gma500 and now recently gma3600 and gma3650 have really poor support and closed source drivers.
3. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and Linuxjosh4trunks May 11, 2012 12:51 AM (in response to Diego_Intel)
I wanted to point out your link was not informative at all, but I hesitated cause I didn't want to make an account. I decided to man up and tell you, as the last guy did, that you just blurted out a random link that does not address the problem at all.
What the linux/freebsd community would love would be a graphics card that comes with linux support. I was just about to buy an intel D2700 board the other day because it was fanless, has an intel NIC, and could play 1080p. Then I found out the graphics chip it has doesn't have useable linux drivers. This is basically unacceptable for me... I'l gonna have to wait until Intel HD graphics make it into a fanless motherboard or just go AMD.
4. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and Linuxpowerarmour May 25, 2012 6:48 AM (in response to Corentin)
Would also love to be able to get the GMA 3650 working well under Linux (tested Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which kinda works in 2D, but has limited resolution options available).
I know there are issues on when/if Imagination Tech ever provide open source graphics support, but even a closed source binary would be nice (other than the one included in Meego 1.2), so we could install it ourselves and get our systems working well.
5. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxTomek May 29, 2012 3:40 PM (in response to diebels)
Ok, I'd really appreciate any statement from Intel representatives whether Linux (but not just Meego) users should or should not delude themself to get the true 2D and 3D support for GMA3650. Please, act professionally and be honest with us.
Unfortunately, though I like my DN2800MT, I'm forced to seek for an alternate product for my Linux-powered HTPC. That's a shame. In case any hope exists for GMA3650 Linux drivers I can wait, but tell me it's not hopeless.
6. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxTomek Jun 4, 2012 8:13 AM (in response to Tomek)
Any response possible?
7. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxMart Jun 5, 2012 7:41 AM (in response to Corentin)
I am stuck with tens of DN2800MT motherboards that I cannot use because of this nonexistent Linux graphics driver. I would like a response, too.
8. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxTomek Jun 5, 2012 8:11 AM (in response to Mart)
Let's make it clear: the fb driver (at least in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) does support the sgx545 even at 1600x1200 but the performance is next to useless. Scrolling windows in Firefox or moving the application windows over the desktop, any screen activity is not acceptable.
Currently I can only use my DN2800MT as a homeserver, not a mediacenter of any kind, though it has a great processor, HDMI, DDR3 and a great potential wasted by Intel's ignorance.
9. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and Linuxpowerarmour Jun 5, 2012 12:42 PM (in response to Tomek)
Yep, i agree it does seem wasted at the moment. For a fanless system that only consumes <15W it's pretty much the best out there, it's just that PowerVR curse striking again just like it did with GMA 500.
What really rubs salt into the wounds is how good a SGX 545 performs on Android with a weaker ARM processor and a much lower clockrate, yet all we have at the moment on x86 is GPU that can barely display a static 2D image, let alone decent resolution support. Disappointing.
10. Re: GMA 3650 aka. PowerVR sgx545 and LinuxAli Rabbani Nov 30, 2012 12:38 PM (in response to Corentin)
Graphics drivers for the Intel® Atom™ Processors N2600 and N2800 are available for the following supported operating systems:
- Windows 7* (32-bit) and Windows Embedded Standard 7*:
- Windows XP* & Windows Embedded Compact 7*:
- Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver 1.12
- Linux*:
- MeeGo* driver. These drivers are pre-integrated into the MeeGo and Yocto* images for the MeeGo v1.2 Netbook. The Yocto image uses the MeeGo driver.

It's really good that there is a MeeGo/Yocto driver for sgx545, that means Intel is very close to satisfy all Linux users and enable this fantastic hardware be used with no OS boundaries.
The reason why this driver doesn't solve the problem is that extracting it from MeeGo/Yocto doesn't make it work in other Linux distributions (not because Linux is bad, but due to the fact that it's strictly aligned with MeeGo's kernel and Xorg versions). In this form it's unusable outside MeeGo/Yocto.
It seems really like a few steps forward and we all are happy sgx545 users.

@INTEL: I really feel ashamed of choosing to use cedar trail. I was very happy to get cedar trail netbook which could play even 1080p videos and consumed so less power as a reward in an Olympiad. If i had known that cedar trail doesn't have linux drivers, I'd have chosen not to accept the Prize and would have bought a tablet instead of using this useless piece of brick. Is it necessary to use closed source software to enjoy 1080p video? the answer is no. I'd have better chosen and ARM powered tablet or even AMD powered cheap laptops. I am even planning to throw away this brick for whatever price i get, IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE FULL LINUX GRAPHICS SUPPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and buy a tablet made by a local company which at least runs android and has Mali-400 GPU. At least i don't have to worry about 1080p playback. And it also sports Android 4.0.3 which is really good.

I'm afraid this kind of blackmail won't work ;-) However I understand your frustration. But on the other hand, why don't you use MeeGo? It's netbook, not a media center after all.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman Nick Davis exploded for a career-high 29 points, on a near perfect shooting night, as No. 21 MIT cruised to a comfortable 92-68 win over visiting UMass-Boston in non-conference men's basketball action on Tuesday night. Davis connected on his first 11 shots to more than double his previous season point-total, as the Engineers improved to 7-1 with the win. The Beacons fall to 4-3 overall after the loss.
The Cardinal and Gray would jump out to an early lead thanks to a three-minute stretch in which it made nine straight shots. Jamie Karraker began the run with a three-pointer to put the hosts on top at 4-2 just over two and a half minutes into the contest. By the time the Engineers missed again the lead had grown to 17-6. Noel Hollingsworth poured in six points during the stretch while Mitchell Kates scored or assisted on four Tech baskets.
Tech extended its lead later in the half with an 11-0 spurt and would eventually take a 20-point advantage into the break. MIT shot a blistering 57.1% from the field during the first half, including four-of-eight from long range.
Davis would heat up early in the second stanza, scoring 23 of his 29 after the intermission, including an emphatic put-back dunk midway through the frame. The freshman was a perfect 11-for-11 from the field before finally missing a contested lay-up with just under four minutes to go. He would make up for it, however, by chasing down the rebound, drawing a foul and knocking down a pair from the line.
MIT continued its torrid shooting, connecting on 31-of-56 (55.4%) attempts from the field and hitting 24 foul shots en route to its fourth 90-point output in the first eight games of the campaign. Davis' big night helped the Cardinal and Gray gain a 64-36 edge in bench scoring, as Hollingsworth also chipped in with 16 points with the second unit. Davis added seven rebounds as part of a 42-24 advantage on the glass for the Cardinal and Gray.
Jason White paced the Beacons with 18 points. Michael Mitchell Jr. (17) and Mo Johnson (15) also finished in double figures for the visitors.
The Engineers will finish up 2010 with three straight road games, beginning Thursday, December 9 at Salem State College at 7:00 p.m. and culminating with a New Year's Eve clash against Harvard University. UMass-Boston will travel to Lesley University on Thursday for an 8:00 p.m. contest.

Breast lump removal
|Normal anatomy
The female breast is composed mainly of fatty tissue interspersed with fibrous or connective tissue. The circular region around the nipple is often a different color or pigmented. This region is called the areola.
Early detection of a breast lump is very important to a patient's prognosis (probable outcome). Most breast lumps are not diagnosed at the doctor's office, they are detected by women who give themselves breast self-examinations at home. Any breast lump that persists beyond a few days must be reported to a physician.
In some cases, a needle aspiration of a breast lump can be performed. If the tissue obtained is clearly not cancerous, if no blood was seen on the aspirate, and if the lump disappears after aspiration and does not recur, physicians will often simply observe patients.
Otherwise, the breast lump must be removed surgically to determine if cancer is present.
A breast lump may either be a cyst filled with fluid or a solid mass of tissue. A sample of the breast tissue (biopsy) must be made to determine whether malignant (cancerous) cells are present. Almost two-thirds of all breast lumps are benign but the chance of a malignant lump is greatly increased if the woman is past menopause.
While the patient is awake and pain-free (using local anesthesia) or asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made over the lump.
The incision for a lumpectomy is usually around 3 to 4 centimeters long. The incision will also depend on the size of the lump that needs to be removed. After the lump is removed in one piece, it is sent to the laboratory for immediate examination. If the lump is found to be cancerous nearby lymph nodes will be removed to check for the extent of the cancer spreading.
The outcome of the lumpectomy depends on the type of lump found. If the lump is benign (whether it is needle aspirated or excised), no further treatment is required.
If the lump is malignant, the outcome depends on the degree to which the tumor has spread. Radiation therapy may be used in addition to surgery. In certain cases of malignant lumps, lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy is as effective as a radical mastectomy. Typically, lumpectomy does not require a breast replacement (prosthesis).

I should have bought this piece BIGGER so she could appear to drive off of the wall but this works and looks great. Love the color the style and the happy feeling as do my guests. My daughter recently returned from Italy where she did ride on Vespas. A fun memory for her when she visits and aspirational for me on a future trip.
Roger Soule is a self-taught photographic and digital artist residing in Manville, RI. Color jazzes me. Textures tease me. Sinuous lines move me. Technology intrigues me. I am a technical and aesthetic being from my very core. What better way to express this than photography? I am a self-taught artist. I love mastering a camera until it feels like an extension of my senses, then turning that extension outward to capture moments of pure magic and sharing them with the world. Enjoy these images as much as I do creating them.

Remarks by Caroline Kennedy
Remarks by Senator Edward M. Kennedy
Two U.S. Senators who reached across the aisle to join forces in a bi-partisan effort to reform the way political campaigns are financed were the recipients of the 1999 Profile in Courage Award. Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona and Democratic Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin were honored for seeking to address their respective party's fundraising excesses and regulate the torrent of special interest money pouring into each party's coffers. With the introduction of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation, Senators McCain and Feingold worked relentlessly for radical campaign finance reform, especially a ban on "soft money." Senator McCain's position put him in direct conflict with his party's leadership. Senator Feingold, during his 1998 re-election bid, refused all offers of "soft money," although the legislation had previously failed in the Senate. Senator Feingold narrowly won re-election by a margin of 51 percent to 49 percent. In March 2002, after years of protracted debate spanning several legislative sessions, McCain-Feingold, in the form of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, was enacted into law. Partisans continue to challenge elements of the law in Federal court.

Open Source Ecology is "a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters building the Global Village Construction Set. The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is a modular, DIY, low-cost, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
Those 50 machines range from tractors to bread ovens to circuit board makers and founder Marcin Jakubowski and volunteers from all over the world have prototyped eight (as of November 2011) so far.
I love this idea. Check out Jakubowski describing the concept in this brief TED talk:
As Jakubowski says, "We're focusing on hardware because it is hardware that can change people's lives in such tangible and material ways." Not just for developing countries, but developed ones too—farmers, small business owners, etc. "Our goal is a repository of published designs so clear and so complete that a single DVD is effectively a civilization starter kit."
For those of you who got excited about the page full of logos for other open-source hardware initiatives like I did, here they are with links—enjoy!

Dark Day in the Deep Sea: Day Three of Five Look Out for a Squall!
Lesson 3 of 13
Objective: SWBAT ask and answer relevant questions from the text to show their understanding. SWBAT identify character traits and emotions, giving evidence from the text to support their choice.
Big Idea: You're full speed ahead as your crew reads chapter four and five in Dark Day in the Deep Sea. They'll show and share what they know about asking and answering questions and character traits and emotions in their flip book.
Welcome to a week's worth of lessons based on the chapter book Dark Day in the Deep Sea, by Mary Pope Osborne. We read a chapter book within each of our six week units to compliment our shorter texts. This is suggested within the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) Model Content Frameworks for third grade ELA. I'll be focusing on having students read closely through rereading and questioning, analyze characters through textual evidence, and work on their speaking and listening skills to share ideas.
Please watch this short video to hear more about this series of lessons. Thank you!
Resources (1)
Flip Book Share!
We like to do a lot of sharing in our room, so I always have my students grouped in pods of three to six. This makes it easy for turning and sharing, and practicing speaking and listening skills.
Set Expectations: At the beginning of our reading class, the students take out their flip books and share the work they completed the day before with their table group. I remind students that everyone in the group should have a turn to talk, and they should look at the person who is speaking. I give them an additional reminder that when I'm walking around the room, I'm observing their speaking and listening skills on the rubric which include having their work prepared, speaking to the group, and listening to others. To keep students from saying, "We're done", I have a plan. I ask students to use their vocabulary bookmarks to create sentences using our new vocabulary words.
Sharing Time: My crew asks questions that they created in their flip book and/or identifies character traits, feelings, and evidence. This leads to nice conversation among the small groups of students. While students are discussing, I take note of the speaking and listening standards on a class log, so I can then transfer it to the rubric on the back of their flip books. I have students divided into five desk groups in my room at this time, so I try to make it to at least two groups a day, so I can listen-in on students multiple times this week. Students ask and answer questions of the group, or share their character traits or emotions with evidence. Our sharing time lasts approximately five minutes. (See Resource File: Dark Day in the Deep Sea Flip book Rubric)
*Flip books were assembled on day one in this series of lessons. See Dark Day in the Deep Sea: Day One of Five, Diving In! for materials and directions.

Vocabulary: To support my lads and lassies with new vocabulary in this literature selection, I've created vocabulary bookmarks. These have been copied onto green and blue cardstock for a "watery" effect. I cut them down the middle, punched a hole in each corner, and attached them together with a metal ring. We'll use these throughout the week to introduce new vocabulary, as well as use them as bookmarks! Today we'll preview the vocabulary for chapters four and five. I'll ask students to read the words in context on the bookmark, then we'll discuss the definition. I use other strategies too, such as asking students to use the word in a sentence, give a synonym or antonym, or identify the part of speech. Another activity I like to do with my class is to have them argue if that is the best word for the context. It gets them closely examining the author's word choice, and digging deeply into the meaning of the text. (See Resource File: Dark Day in the Deep Sea Vocab Bookmarks)
Predictions: Throughout the year, I teach my students that you don't have to be reading a picture book to complete predicting activities. I lead them to see that previewing the titles of chapters in chapter books, book introductions on the back cover, and any illustrations can also lead to some great discoveries! We make predictions based on the chapter titles within this book. Today, we make predictions based on the chapter titles, "Off the Ship!", and "Ooze". Wow! They've got some interesting predictions for these chapters!

My crew is focusing on two Common Core State Standards this week while voyaging through Dark Day in the Deep Sea. They are asking and answering questions by reading closely, and examining characters. I support my students with these standards by creating anchor charts, supplying posters on the wall, and giving them handouts for their reading binders. We have worked on these standards in previous lessons, so my students are familiar with the posters and handouts. I reinforce students using their resources by rewarding them with praise and other items when I see them. Student handouts located in reading binders are nice, because students write additional character traits and emotions on these as they come up with new ones. (See Resource Files: Read Closely Poster; Character Poster; Character Traits Handout; Character Emotions Handout)
Introduce Skills: To continue our learning this week, I pull up our SMART Notebook files including our samples of asking and answering questions, and the character/trait/evidence. These files contain our examples from Dark Day in the Deep Sea, and I'll add one of each as I model every day this week. To practice our character skills, I divide the class in half, calling one side "Character Traits" and the other side "Character Emotions". I tell a short story and have students identify traits and emotions along with citing evidence from my story. My students keep small white boards in their desks which come in handy for activities like this. They write their responses on their boards and then flash them at me. I tell a second story, having them switch their jobs. (See Resource Files: Ask and Answer SMART Notebook File or PDF; Character Traits and Emotions SMART Notebook File or PDF) I've included both a SMART Notebook file, and a PDF if you don't have a SMART Board.
Model: We continue with our novel, and I read pages 33-35 aloud to them. I model rereading as needed to closely read, and understand deeply. We add one ask and answer, and one character name/trait or emotion/evidence sample to the SMART Notebook files. I leave these visible for the students to see, however they know they cannot "borrow" mine, and have to come up with their own when they complete their flip books. I make sure to model copying dialogue with quotation marks to cite evidence of character today. My students have only had a little practice with quotation marks, and can use the extra modeling. (See Resource Files: Ask and Answer SMART Notebook File or PDF; Character Traits and Emotions SMART Notebook File or PDF) I've included both a SMART Notebook file, and a PDF if you don't have a SMART Board.
Revisit Objectives: We read through the rubric on the back of the students' flip books to make sure they understand the job they are accomplishing.

The students are ready finish reading chapters four and five on their own. The Common Core Standards encourage as much reading to be completed by the students as possible. I move around the room and support as needed with reading and skills.
Independent Practice: Students read and work on their flip book assignments for chapters four and five today. I ask them to have two neighbors check their work for complete sentences, capitals, and punctuation when they finish. When they check, they are also checking to see that the character traits or emotions are accurate with evidence, and that the questions they've asked and answered are relevant. Peer checking can be very powerful! I find it most beneficial when there is more than one "checker" involved. I additionally check in on students who have been struggling with reading or skills on days one and two.
For homework tonight, I'm asking the crew to read chapter six to or with someone at home. Students take home their books and vocabulary bookmarks. I have families fill out an "Oral Reading Slip" which contains vocabulary, questions, and a spot for moms and dads to fill out how their child read. There are two copies on one page. Cut the sheet down the middle. (See Resource File: Dark Day Oral Reading Slip)

Here are some additional ideas and materials to support the objectives of this lesson, Dark Day in the Deep Sea, and an ocean unit!
Non-fiction pair: Ask students to read the non-fiction companion, Sea Monsters, by Mary Pope Osborne. I had my students do this as a literacy center, and complete a simple ask and answer book flip book. (See Resource File: Sea Monsters Literacy Center)
Ocean Animal Research: Have your crew complete an ocean animal research project. Use the giant octopus from Dark Day in the Deep Sea as your sample creature. During language arts, my crew and I completed a full research project on an ocean animal. I've included a finished sample for you to view. (Ocean Animal Research Sample)
Ocean Poetry: Practice speaking, listening, text structure, and foundational skills by reading poems with an ocean theme. This is a file created by myself, and teaching partner, Sara Hesemann. We used ocean themed poems found for free on the internet. (See Resource File: My Book of Poems Inspired by the Sea Hesemann)
Test Prep Practice: We are working hard on the standards and skills that will be assessed on the third grade PARCC assessment. This is a document I created to help support students with practice of A and B question types. (Sea Creature Ask & Answer #1)
You've Got Character! Practice Page: To offer additional practice at individual levels, I use this practice page for students to analyze characters, and infer traits and emotions. Having them read a book at their own level provides a good picture of whether or not they're mastering the skill. The graphics on the page are a reminder of the handouts they have in their reader's binders on character traits and emotions. (See Resource File: You've Got Character Practice Page)
Character Traits and Emotions Bingo: Play bingo with your students to help identify character traits and emotions. Use the six different bingo cards in many ways! One way to use them is to create one of the bingo cards as a "class card". Mark off spaces that represent characters in all of your shared reading and read-aloud books. Another idea is to give each student a bingo card to keep in their reader's binder. As students read they cross off spaces when they identify a character who represents that trait or emotion. Ask them to write the character's name, and evidence in the box they mark off. (See Resource File: Character Traits and Emotions Bingo)
